HIGH SCHOOL OUTREACH (HSO) OPPORTUNITIES

SHPE | UIUC has had a long and successful tradition of inviting high school students to campus to learn more about Engineering at Illinois. Our student-run programs involve a team of volunteers and months of planning to make these events special for aspiring college students. From our popular High School Visitation programs each semester to our ongoing Outreach events, there are plenty of opportunities to learn about how YOU can be tomorrow's engineer.
